This review is from: Swordsman With An Umbrella [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Now of course this is a 1 star movie but it is so bad it is actually almost good. I know you've heard that line a hundred times but I am telling you that movies like 'Raiders Of Buddhist Kung Fu' make my stomach hurt, this movie was actually very enjoyable. Now first I gotta talk about the last. The last fight scene is so funny you will truly never forget it. This movie I believe was shot in 1-3 days time. This was the last day and it does seem like it is almost choreographed. But when they put out their swords and like walk by eachother really slow, it is unlike anything you have ever seen. I was laughing so hard that when they did this shot for the 2md time, I had to actually pause it to get a tissue.

Now the music in this starts out pretty good. But that is the only thing that any effort was put into. One hilarious part was when they were climbing up a hill and they showed around 35 shots of the same shot and tried to make it feel like they were climbing. The first fight scene is seriously something to look out for, these guys look like they are playing patticakes, but it is not even that well choreographed. So iron umbrella shows up into town and a couple guys learn he can fight. BTW, his umbrella looks like a paper cocktail umbrella, just a big one. So these guys go and tell their gang leader that a guy named iron umbrella is pretty good. So the masked leader has this brilliant idea to go kill everybody and leave iron's name on every body framing him. I literally just explained like the entire story in the last 2-3 sentences. He shows up from somewhere and then he is hurt, and he fights sometimes. That's the whole story. But overall I gotta say this is a must see. You have to get the swords of fire fists of something 10-poack form brentwood, it has like 3 really good movies on it and a couple others that are good.

Also this is the only one in the 10-pack that has english subs, it has english dub also, but makes this movie even more fun doing a comparison. And there are plenty slow moments to stop and compare. My guess is 90% of you could make a better film than this, seriously.
